RFID hacking for amusement and crime
Wired magazine has put the full text of my article about RFID hackers online — it’s in the current issue of the magazine, the one with the strangely hypnotic picture of Al Gore on the cover. For this article, I zoomed all over the country meeting with people who can use RFID read/write devices to circumvent anti-theft devices in cars, break into offices with cloned RFID-powered smartcards, and seriously mess with the “smart tag” inventory systems in stores like Wal-Mart. Plus, I got an RFID chip implanted in my arm, and hardcore hardware geek Jonathan Westhues cloned it.

Hi, very interesting paper indeed.
If you can read french, I’ve made a similar article (with some more experiments, plus biometrics hacking techniques) in february : http://www.internetactu.net/?p=6329

Cool! Looks really interesting. Technical French is always easier for me to read than other kinds.
